<span>"They seemed content to perch tranquilly on the river bank and leave him bowed down by the weight of a great problem."

The stylistic element used in the passage is incongruity. It is a form of satire or humor. Incongruity is used in an unsuitable time. For example, If a man were in a court room and belched loudly while receiving his sentence, that would be a use of incongruity. Another example would be if at a royal wedding the groom's pants fell down in the middle of the ceremony.
Answer:A/Happy
Because the mood is calm
The answer would have to be option B "Elenita struggles to keep her identities separate." This option seems to be the best fit. It's not option A because she said she DOESN'T want to invite any of her friends over. It's not option C because I dont see anything in this excerpt that has to deal with her father not wanting to return to Puerto Rico. It's also not option D because she's just saying that her friends would die of culture shock if they see her house therefore she's not loosing any faith. So, the answer would have to be option B.
Good luck.
